Presentation

This module is intended to prepare you for the practical application of advanced digital capture and manipulation technology, as well as techniques of visualisation and immersive representation. As 3D Design utilises more immersive forms of product development and testing, it is vital that designers are familiar with advanced techniques that facilitate the integration of fully digital workflow through the use of virtual and augmented capabilities.
The module will utilise the advanced digital capture and visualisation technologies available within the Department utilising 3D scanning, photogrammetry, motion capture, 3d modelling software and the CAVE. It will examine various approaches to the capture and manipulation of real-world data within a virtual / augmented environment and look at how these can be manipulated to as part of a wider design strategy.
It will enable the understanding and application of advanced concepts from first principles and how to make design decisions in the use of virtual and augmented technologies and techniques, in order to develop objects and spaces of high quality and with functional capability. Advanced technologies will be explained, and you will be expected to develop analytical skills in order to understand the impacts of design decisions and subsequently to utilise those skills in the design of objects and spaces, and to evaluate the outcome in a critical and self-reflective fashion.
